The Fords aren't looking great right now with only David Regan in the top 10.

Allmendinger and Sadler are in the top 17 speeds in the first practice. Kahne and Mennard are back in 26th and 28th.

We need to pick it up some.

Again our FORDs cannot keep up with Childress and Hendricks BTW they are both Chevies. Doesn't childress use Hendrick engines. Now what does that tell you. It tells me they better start using the FR9 or we might just lose Kasey. The only promising winner at the present time. I feel sorry for AJ he just can't get the darn car to move. Andrew your right RPM are using Roush's chassis. It's obvious when both these RPM are running crummy and yet did so well when they were using RPM chassis..

Childress uses Earnhardt-Childress engines. RCR was awful last year (way worse than Fords), they've just made more gains in the offseason. We've got a few Fords in the top-15, so it's not completely atrocious.

We are talking about FORD and being in the top 15th is atrocious and if I could think of a stronger word, I would use it, but right now I'M JUST TO FURIOUS.

Biffle, Kenseth, and Edwards now in the top-7... that's not bad...

Kasey had a top-5 or 10 car, but he's gonna finish about 35th now. Sad

The other RPM cars and Ragan are struggling, though.

Why 35th I' can't watch so I became involved with something else. Watching a race only makes my blood pressure rise

He's torn up and in the garage.
